How much would an ss dd go for? Let’s say around $13k- ss sky-dweller is around $14k and ss Daytona is around $12k.
Now how easy do you think it will be to get at that price? How many will be swallowed up by the grey dealers and sold for close to 2x retail? So we’re talking $26k for a ss daydate? No thanks. I’ll pay a bit more for a full gold daydate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Totally against a SS DD. The DD has always been and should always be PM and something to aspire to. If you want a SS DD get a Tudor....IMHO

They have
Many years ago (I don’t think it’s current practice) they made prototypes of the DD in stainless steel Apparently ONLY Rolex watchmakers working on the DD ever wore them I know of 2 of them that have escaped from Rolex’s grasp and they are both out in the real world.

has been discussed many times here, and my answer is still no. There is no reason or motivation for Rolex to do it. Just wishful thinking

Tudor made day dates in SS, 36mm.....but that was a while back, you see them come up for sale occasionally.

Might as well buy WG and pretend it is stainless steel once you consider how hot a SS DD would be, the ridiculous waiting lists, and the price it would pull on the secondary market.

34mm platinum OP with president bracelet, brushed lugs and ice blue dial. That is my biggest wish.

No interest in a stainless DD. It kind of defeats the entire purpose.

SS Day Date just doesn’t hit the mark.
Now a 42mm Submariner, using the same case as the 216570 Exp II ......................
